Crafts Afloat - Art and Craft Workshops on a Narrowboat.

General information

Crafts in the Valley offers creative textile and glass workshops in the Calder Valley, West Yorkshire. Workshops are delivered by Melanie Louise, who is a fully qualified Art and Design teacher with a BA Hons degree in Fashion and Textiles. She has been delivering an exciting range of art and craft experiences to adults for the past five years. She is inspiring, friendly and a fabulous host with 5* reviews of Facebook.
Melanie previously managed Crafts Afloat, a social enterprise project delivering Art and Craft Workshop on a narrowboat art studio. Having now moved to dry land, Melanie runs most of her workshops from the Creative with Nature studio gallery in Todmordon, the neighbouring town to Hebden Bridge.
Full day workshops in Felted Textiles and Glass Fusing are offered once a month with the option to book private workshops and craft parties in Felting, Glass Fusing, Experimental Printing and Mosaics. As well as learning a range of creative skills, a workshop with Crafts in the Valley is a really special day out. You will leave feeling relaxed, inspired and a little bit spoilt!
Workshops start at 10.30 am with morning pastries, real coffee and cups of tea. Only the best materials and equipment are used during the workshop and there are no hidden costs. Lunch is served at a local restaurant, which offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. You can enjoy a glass of wine with lunch to help the creative juices flow! Once back at the studio, Melanie serves cake and coffee whilst you finish making and creating.
